Loewe x Albert York

Season after season, Loewe is unsurprisingly mind blowing. JW Anderson just keeps pushing the boundaries of creativity and infuses a multiplicity of meanings into his creations. Indeed, in order to speak to the Zeitgeist, he focuses not only on proposing original, truly out of the box designs. In an era where many designers just seemContinue reading “Loewe x Albert York”

Nouvelle Vague

Art x Outfit Edit #34 On Saturday, before joining some friends for an afternoon stroll, I decided to visit the Jacquemus store avenue Montaigne to see and feel “Le Camino” bag. As I walked around the store, spotting a particularly fancy Pierre-Auguste Renoir sculpture, I stumbled upon an even more intriguing pair of jeans. Puffy,Continue reading “Nouvelle Vague”

Viktor & Rolf’s Art

Visiting the exhibit « La traversée des apparences » at the Centre Pompidou, I stumbled upon a dress from the 2015 Viktor & Rolf Houte Couture collection called “Wearable Art”. The exhibition focuses on the links between modern and contemporary art and fashion, with a particular focus on younger up and coming creatives such as Charles deContinue reading “Viktor & Rolf’s Art”

From Lee’s Point of View

Art x Outfit Edit #33 A few months ago, walking through the Asian aisle of the Met, I stumbled upon one of Lee Ufan’s work. The Korean artist is a key member of the Japanese Mono-ha movement, born in the 1960s. Mono-ha means “School of Things” and the aesthetic value rejects Western modern art standards.

This blog covers the intersection of art and luxury, so, of course, I could not not cover the last show of the prodigy child of French “pop luxury”, as labelled by the designer himself. Jacquemus last show’s, Les Sculptures took place on January 29th at the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, at the heart of Simon’s dear Sud.Continue reading “Jacquemus’ Sculptures”

It’s all about how Smith frames it

Art x Oufit Edit #32 David Smith was one of the leading artist of the Abstract Expressionist movement. ‘Sculpture,’ wrote David Smith in 1951, ‘is as free as the mind; as complex as life’. Smith is famous for his work on steel, a skill he honed working in a car factory. His inspirations are deeplyContinue reading “It’s all about how Smith frames it”

Lichtenstein, after Schlemmer

Art x Outfit Edit #31 Many things can happen strolling around New York, but few are as exquisite as running into an unexpected gem. Granted, Gagosian often showcases blue chip gems. But for all I know about Roy Lichtenstein, I had never seen his piece Bauhaus Stairway Mural (1989), currently exposed at one of the ChelseaContinue reading “Lichtenstein, after Schlemmer”

Frank Gehry x Louis Vuitton

As we ring in the New Year and with a few weeks of delay, I wanted to discuss the recent collaboration between the starchitect Frank Gehry and Louis Vuitton, unveiled at Art Basel Miami Beach in December.  The relationship between the house and Gehry is not new, as the first time he collaborated on aContinue reading “Frank Gehry x Louis Vuitton”
